LIST PICK

LAUV CHASING FIRE

Although he hasn’t been on the scene for long, we can already tell that Lauv is an artist not afraid of smashing industry stereotypes. The LA-based pop talent has just dropped his new single ‘Chasing Fire’, except instead of the track forming part of a traditional EP or album, he simply adds new material to an ongoing playlist project called ‘I met you when I was 18’. It’s incredibly refreshing to see an artist adopt this modern and streaming-friendly approach to delivering the songs, and the track itself is a banger, with slick pop melodies and a killer chorus. Check it out below and catch Lauv in London on 17th April at the O2 Academy, Islington with Jeremy Zucker. Holly Manners
